Get to know me

Thank you for stopping by. My name is Kevin Tian. I recently graduated from Duke University in December 2020, a semester early, with a degree in Computer Science.

Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated by how things ✨ work ✨.

As a designer, I’m fascinated by when and why things 🛑 don’t work 🛑 and what I can do to bridge that gap.

When I’m not sweating each pixel, you can find me weightlifting or playing tennis, reading speculative sci-fi, or slathering on my favorite clay mask.
